When I Started:
Jan, 2008
How I Started:
We had a weight loss challenge in the newspaper I work for. The owners of the local gym invited me and the other two girls to work out for free for three months. I had always been REALLY intimidated by bodybuilders- this helped me realize that I was judging them, rather than them judging me. Now, I can't get enough of it. I just need to develop more discipline.
Why I Love It:
I love working out and going to the gym, because it boosts my confidence even before it changes the way I look. The adrenaline rush is mad, and the people are cool.
How I Stay Motivated:
BB Accomplishments:
HaHa - For me, actually showing up at the gym has been an accomplishment!!! I hope to add more very soon, though~

This was taken in January of '08. I was about 230 lbs. Yuck. You can't even tell that my eyes are open! Fat hiding my eyes! Yeesh....
A very honest "starting over" picture. As a graphics person it is hard to do this, so I had to post it immediately. Just took one shot and used it. No photoshop, no nothing.
I have seriously "regressed." Makes me sick. Covered with globby, blobby fat ... face, body, fingers. YUCK!!!
Maybe this will ...
I've been given sideways compliments my whole life. For example, people will say, "You have a pretty face." If I weren't so fat it would just be "You're pretty."
I want to lose a LOT of fat, and I understand that it wont happen overnight. I also want to build enough muscle to define my body. If I look like a stack of marshmallows to me, what must I look like to other people?
I want to be able to go in public with my face held high.
Seriously - Just look at her profile. This is a girl who worked HARD for what she has got. She proves that a person can do anything - if they have the drive required.
The woman who owns the gym I go to. She is very helpful and definately knows what she's doing. She's a very successful bodybuilder. Although my goals are different than hers, she still knows what I need to be doing.The woman who owns the gym I go to. She is very helpful and definately knows what she's doing.

Just checkin in so you guys would know I haven't fallen off the wagon again. Haven't been up to much, though. I can sum it all up in two words - "Swine Flu"
Anywho, hang in, keep on those goals, talk to ya'll when I rejoin the "land of the living" hahaha. (Seriously,...
saw one of your posts on the forum and had to say, nice job! There is great advice on the forums, but sometimes it's coming from such a different point of view that it's not as understood. I have a lot of weight to lose myself and I sometimes it's not possible for me to explain things to others who've always been fit... :) LoL sorry to ramble but I was just impressed with the empathetic way you answered the question while giving great advice!
yeah i know... just gotta make it though the summer then back to normal..hehe.. we are starting a facebook to kinda rally the troops for it even... do some videos and stuff to really start hyping it up
hey girlie!!! how are things going in your neck of the woods?? things are going GREAT here!! weight is melting off and i'm feeling soooo good about myself lately. things are looking up for me ... hope they're looking up for you as well :D *sending good kharma*
hey there ... i'm doing okay ... lost my focus for a bit ... was still going to the gym but wasn't really putting my all into it - back on track now and seeing results ... how about you??
Good evening Pretty Face, I hope all is well!! I'm fine. Thanks for your support at the time I had just post full body photo's that had sent me on an emtional roller coaster..I began visiting places I wasn't prepared but more impoartantly I owned my pain. Again, thank you. Leslie
hey fellow newspaper girl.. just wanted to check in and see how you are doing with your goals.... and how you all are hanging on with all the slump in newspaper ads these days... :)
Hey!
Yeah, it is going amazing so far. So much energy, life is really taking a 180 and I'm pretty sure it is mostly related to the training. Passed the 100 pound lost mark :) Hope everything is going well with you!
You know, you're RIGHT that eating so often is work ... I'm still trying to master that. I just started a new course at school so I tend to forget to eat - not good. And yep, I'll be hitting the gym later tonight and tomorrow, then a rest day :D Glad to hear of your progress!! Way to go!!
Thanks. I read your profile and saw what you wrote about the "sideways comments", and can totally relate. I've always been the triple F (funny fat friend). That's how I actually got the nickname phaterik, or phat-e for short. Yeah, they call me fatty. Not for much longer though.
Hey There!! thanks for the compliment on my new picture ... I can't see much difference but everyone else tells me my face looks a lot slimmer in it. Things are going great for me at the gym - starting to lose weight again FINALLY so the motivation is coming back. You??
